I think after 4 months, the radio stations and MTV were tired of playing Hold Me. They played the s*** out of it.

Love Eye in the Sky and I Keep Forgetting.

Yes and my obsession included to listen with the previous instrumental piece, Sirius.

Incidentally, Elmer Gantry from the fake Fleetwood Mac sang a song on the Eye In The Sky album.

That is in and of itself, hilarious! Plus, the fact that you have that information in your head...

Closing out a great song with the artwork of the 45 single.

Their heights are oddly modified.

Yeah, he sang on "Psychobabble", which fared very modestly on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at #57. Gantry also appeared on the opening track of their previous album, The Turn of a Friendly Card.

I love that Hold Me is played heavily, still, all over Classic Rock and Blend stations on Sirius XM.

Hold Me after more than 4 months on the charts getting ready to fall out of the top 100 singles.

Gypsy not in top 15 yet. Jack and Diane #1 October 9, 1982.

Nice run for Hold Me!
